The Time Is Now

Am
I cut my teeth, on the back of an 
old church pew

I learned to walk in the ways of 
light and truth
          D           Am          
And I was told not to speak til I 
    G
was spoken to
Am
I heard it preached, what I should 
and I should not do
And the choir sang

    C     Dm       Am     C     
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh Woh oh oh 
Dm       Am
oh oh oh oh

Am
I tried to be a good boy but I ain't
 a boy no more

I've seen somethings that a man just
 can't ignore
  D      Dm           Am         
And this world's gone see what I 
   F        G
am standing for
Am           A                   
I've kept my peace, I can't hold 
   D      G
my tongue anymore

[Chorus]

          Am                       
You can't buy my silence, you can't
 C
 steal my voice
          D                    
You can't keep me quiet, I will 
 Am        E      G
bring the noise
       Am                       C
Try to beat me down, tell me to shut
 my mouth
              Dm                   
But there's a time to speak and the
 F
 time is now
Am
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Am           Dm    Am
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Verse 2]

    A       Am
The squeaky wheel is always getting 
greased

Well, I've been sitting still

Park here on the side of the street
E      D          Am            
Always tip-toeing trying not to 
F        G      D   C
wake the beast
              Am
Oh but here I come
                            G
All you monsters had better run from
 me

[Chorus] (x3)
(same as above)

You can't buy my silence, you can't 
steal my voice
You can't keep me quiet, I will 
bring the noise
Try to beat me down, tell me to shut
 my mouth
But there's a time to speak and the 
time is now

You can't buy my silence, you can't 
steal my voice
You can't keep me quiet, I will 
bring the noise
Try to beat me down, tell me to shut
 my mouth
But there's a time to speak and the 
time is now
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
